Donna Lepretre, Circle of Life mentor at the Kermode Friendship Centre, helps plant the finishing touches on the perennial creepers sprawl outside of the new facility at 4717 Park Avenue.

Staff have been planting for the last couple weeks in preparation for the opening of Wap Sagayt K’uul Goot centre, which means “house in one heart” in Tsimshian, this September. The $3-million dollar project will house the 37-space daycare with accompanying playground, along with the Kermode Friendship Centre office spaces and commercial kitchen. The 8600 sq.ft. L-shaped building will be the city’s first First Nations-centered licensed daycare.
